Corporate partnership executives are just like pirates in the navy.

During a recent conversation, I was asked what Alliance Management is. A seemingly simple question that goes back to the essence of our profession on which many books have already been written. We had a great conversation about it! Later on, looking at my own website I learned, to my surprise, that in the 13 years of writing this column I have written about many aspects of Alliance Management, but never about the basic question of, “What is Alliance Management?

It’s important that you don’t have toxic and spammy links pointing to your website, or it can do more damage than good.
